Embodiment Construction

[0030] A peer-to-peer (also termed P2P) computer network is a network that relies primarily on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the computer network rather than concentrating computing power and bandwidth in a relatively small number of servers. P2P computer networks are typically used to connect the nodes of the computer network via a large number of peer-to-peer connections. P2P computer networks can be used for many purposes. It is very common to share content files containing eg audio, video and data. P2P networks are also used to deliver real-time data such as telephony traffic.

[0031] A pure P2P network has no concept of client or server, but only equal end nodes that serve as both "clients" and "servers" to other nodes on the network. This model of network setup differs from the client-server model that typically communicates to and from a central server. A typical example of non-P2P file transfer is an FTP server where the client and server...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for the delivery of digital data to an end user (902) from a network (900) comprising at least two different data sources (912as 912b) is disclosed. Each of the at least two different data sources (912a, 912b) can deliver the digital data to the end network at at least one parameter and the data sources (912a, 912b) have substantially identical copies of the digital data comprising portions and are connected to the end user (902). The method comprises receiving (1011) a list of a subset of the at least two data sources (912a, 912b) and selecting (1012) on the basis of the list one or more of the subset of at least two data sources (912a, 912b). At least a portion of the digital data from the selected ones of the at least two data sources (912a, 912b) is delivered to the end user (902). The parameter for the delivery of the digital data to the end user (902) is monitored and the configuration (913) of the selected ones of the at least two data sources (912a, 912b) is adjusted (1015) on the basis of the monitored parameter such that a combined configuration of the configurations (913) of the selected ones of the at least two data sources (912a, 912b) matches the specification (905).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and a network for providing digital data from multiple data sources, in particular in a peer-to-peer network, and a spot market for providing digital data. Background technique [0002] In the current Internet system, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide Internet connections to customers or subscribers. ISPs connect to other ISPs through backbones, usually run by other companies. To connect to the Internet, an ISP will purchase bandwidth between the different ISPs and on one of the Internet backbones that distributes data between data sources. An ISP in Singapore, for example, will buy bandwidth on the trans-Pacific cable between Singapore and the US, and on the cable between Europe and Australia and Singapore. The purchased bandwidth is symmetrical. However, many ISPs in the Asia-Pacific region, for example, are Internet downloaders of bandwidth because they are outside their region compared to the end...
